"Ibanez CP-9 Compressor. This is the only pedal that stays on throughout the gig. it’s the first thing my guitar goes into and I think this is an 80’s unit. It’s an eBay job, they don’t make them anymore. I think I got one because my friend Andy Hackett (who is in the Rockingbirds and also runs Angel Music on Denmark Street, the best guitar shop in London) has one on his pedal board. Gem also swears by these."

"This setup is super smooth and simple. I only used the compressor when I need to get louder" - [Rex Shelverton](http://www.guitargeek.com/rex-shelverton-tamaryn-2011-guitar-rig-and-gear-setup-diagram/).
